Inflation !


      From this year’s April month onwards prices’ of essential commodities is increasing at unexpected speed and it has spoil the budget of common people of the country, different people have different opinion of rising prices’ of essential commodities. It all started when rainy season begins with shortfall of rain in the very first month of season and when farmers’ need of water for farming and the rainfall was at such a low level that in some areas of country farmers delay and drag for seeding of crops because metrology department of country keep on predicting that no body should panic if in particular month there is shortfall of rain then until and unless rainy season is not over we cant specifically say about rain percentage ,so farmers and people were waiting positively for next few months so that deficit of rain adjusted as countries more then seventy five percent of farmers are dependent on rain for farming but at the end of season this year rainfall was such a low that in lot of areas of the country they were declared drought hit, resultant shortage of lot of crops yield but with the statement of agriculture minister Mr.Sharad Yadav that this year because of countries lot of parts hit by draught so there will be big shortage of demand and supply of essential commodities, taking advantage of statement big traders started hoarding of pulses, sugar and other essential commodities which become reason of shortage of essential commodities in the market and there prices; started soaring and as the time gone by of festival season prices’ of sugar also double from the month of February. In the November month lot of essential commodities prices’ are more then double from February month’s prices’ and below is glimpse of some of items –
 Vegetables :
  •  Onion from four to five rupees kilogram to twenty to twenty three rupees kilogram
  • Potato from three to four rupees kg to eighteen to twenty one rupees kg
  • Beans at one hundred twenty rupees kg
  • Cauliflower at fifty rupees kg
  • Carrot at forty five rupees kg
   In nutshell all the vegetables available in the market were costing around fifty rupees per kilo which remain at twenty to twenty five rupees per kilo after the rainy season and arrival of fresh crop.
  Pulses and Ghee :
   Not any single pulse is available in the market below fifty rupees per kg and some even crosses the mark of one hundred rupees for the first time, mustard oil crosses’ the mark of seventy five kg, refined oil were also selling at eighty two rupees per kg, rice basic variety touches the figure of 45 rupees per kg. Sugar first time cross the forty rupees per kg barrier.
   Till date all the above mentioned essential commodities are selling at almost same prices and people are making lot of noises that inflation has disturb their budget but unfortunately they are listen by deaf ears by concerned ministry and till date they have not taken any action to curb the inflation so that rising prices could be checked and essential goods make available to the common people of this country at an affordable prices, but ironically instead they are moving opposite directions and increasing the slabs of items which are under their domain like electricity, municipal corporations, court fees which make people angry because they unable to cope with all round attack of inflation, yes government keep on coming proposal for their employees with revise D.A. slabs which give relief to some category of people but unfortunately they are handful of people rest have to feel the heat of inflation. It is the responsibility of efficient government to take care of basic necessity of their countryman and if prices’ of something gone through roof then it can be harmful at the time of elections as it had experienced by BJP party when they were governing Delhi state and price of onion were selling at 50 rupees per kg then they lost the election badly and till date they are unable to come power despite after this two time assembly election held, but instead of advantage taken by opposition party at election time ruling party should feel the heat and take effective and fruitful steps to give relief for the people of their constituencies, because it is their votes which give them power to rule.
